Sesame Peanut Chicken Satay

Our apartment isn't huge and we routinely find ourselves having dinner on the couch in the living room rather than in our dining nook (which often gets cluttered with clothes, gym bags, mail, etc.). It isn't the most glamorous way to enjoy a meal, but it's a nice way to unwind after work and cozy up with each other. Dining on the couch can be tricky, though, with finger foods being much easier to eat than dishes that require both a knife and fork. These chicken skewers are delicious and portable, making them a great TV dinner. The grilled chicken gets slathered with a flavorful sesame peanut sauce (inspired by this recipe) that also does double duty as a dip. Any leftover sauce can be eaten with sliced veggies for a snack the next day.

Sesame Peanut Chicken Satay:

Turn on a blender and add into 1 garlic clove and a 1" piece of peeled, roughly chopped ginger and blend until finely chopped.*
